Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA

7 All human toil is for the mouth, yet the appetite is not satisfied.

8 For what advantage have the wise over fools? And what do the poor have who know how to conduct themselves before the living?

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire; this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

New International Version NIV

7 Everyone’s toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied.

8 What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?

9 Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
